Abstract

UNLABELLED

Male breast cancer is an uncommon disease although the incidence has increased over the past 25 years. As with many other rare "orphan" diseases, male breast cancer is understudied. The rarity of the disease precludes prospective randomized clinical trials. In addition, few researchers and minimal funding have focused on breast cancer in men, but further work is clearly needed to better understand this disease. It shares many similarities with breast cancer in women; yet some clear differences have emerged. In this article, the latest information on the epidemiology, biology, and treatment of male breast cancer is reviewed.

KEY WORDS

Epidemiology, Male breast cancer, Prognosis, Treatment.

摘要

未标注

男性乳腺癌是一种罕见疾病，尽管其发病率在过去25年中有所上升。与许多其他罕见的“孤儿”疾病一样，男性乳腺癌的研究较少。该疾病的罕见性使得前瞻性随机临床试验难以开展。此外，很少有研究人员关注男性乳腺癌，且资金投入极少，但显然需要进一步开展工作以更好地了解这种疾病。它与女性乳腺癌有许多相似之处；然而，也出现了一些明显的差异。本文综述了男性乳腺癌流行病学、生物学和治疗方面的最新信息。
